Good Question
- He was initially identified by California authorities as a retired Chicago police officer. But a spokeswoman for the Chicago Police Department said Pastini was never employed by the department and was carrying a Chicago police badge that had been missing since 1978.
Carrie Braun, a spokeswoman for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, said the metal police star recovered from Pastini’s body “appeared to be legitimate.”
It’s unclear how Pastini got the badge.
Braun said Pastini was born Jordan Isaacson and changed his name in the 1970s.
Evidently, he was quite the shit-talker, too, claiming to be both cop and criminal, a veteran of all sorts of ethnic battles between Greeks, Italians and Germans, which would put him growing up in the neighborhood of 012/013, generally speaking.
The recovered badge was reported missing in 1978 - who had it last? That might provide a starting point to see who owned it last. We can name about a dozen stars that went "missing" a week or two before some old timers retired. That might provide a hint as to how this one ended up in the hands of someone of whom there isn't any record of him being CPD.

Get one the ball Kidney Bean and while your at it, call the FBI to get the phone records on Smollett to see who ruffled his pillow too
The guy was some kind of con man. And that bullshit about fighting Germans? That would have been my family. The Germans in Chicago assimilated or left the burbs before this asshole was born. Weird.
Badges, who needs stinking badges.
Show me the number in the name of transparency chief Waller.
Get to the bottom of this!
Why the name change?
Where did he learn to fly? How did he pay?
Flying is a rather expensive pursuit for a shit-talker.
Was flying a diversion or job requirement?
Where did he work? Track that S.S. number and 1040s.

Who gives a fuck! He's dead.

Hey my grandfather fought un WW2 at the battle of the bulge, maybe my grandfather fought your grandfather
The old stars were copied many times over.
Now, this I find interesting. I would love to be in on this investigation!
I’m so tired of the political bullshit in this state, city and on this department. Democrats have negatively impacted every aspect of life in this state.
Is it true that a bleach bottle, a new package of rope and two MAGA hats were found in the wreckage?
FACT: this guy is a complete fraud and police impersonator! The pension office has absolutely no record of either name this guy was using.
Probably was in witness protection and kept the star as a momento.
lost? or stolen?
fuck it.
it was definitely found.
some brasso will shine it up real nice.
This is bullshit artist of the highest degree. Phony airplane mechanic too. The plane disintegrated in the sky.
Does anyone else remember when they made the headquarters move from 11th and State to 35th and Michigan? There were records lost in the personnel unit’s computers. Some people who checked their records found that awards they were given were missing along with other info, like training attended? When they called about the problem, they were told to bring their copies of awards and certificates, and they will be added to their file! Guess any extra effort to combine the old and new systems was too much work, or too expensive?
Some of the really old records, log books, ledgers, C.O. books, etc... went to a dumpster, instead of being kept for historical research.
He’s a gypsy. Worst kind of people in the world
This one seems real weird and worth looking into. This has 1970’s Chicago written all over it.
What bothered me most is learning that COMMERCIAL air line pilots licenses do not require a background check....
SCC Your on the right track. Keep going with it.
Using Occam's Razor...This guy was a BS'r and a Police Impersonator who never got caught. He likely changed his name to start a new path of lying and BS'ing. No Witness protection here, just another small time Con man.
They don’t want to know about the badge. Read somewhere where the CPD stated he is dead, case over and closed
This really should get some attention , since the media jumped right on the "retired CPD" Bandwagon.
Prove what Douchebags they really are since if they can't google it , it doesn't exist they lazy fucks and it got a sideswipe at CPD for them so they are all good with it
"Evidently, he was quite the shit-talker, too, claiming to be both cop and criminal, a veteran of all sorts of ethnic battles between Greeks, Italians and Germans..."
Them's key qualifications for an FOP Presidency. Or a Michigan Avenue foot post. Or both.
Star “appeared to be legitimate”. How would they know if it is legitimate ? Can’t compare it to a current star. Had to be issued prior to 1978 so it’s not a current star
When you include the fact that he was Dennis Hoff's personal pilot, all kinds of new possibilities appear !!
If only that wrecked fuselage could talk !!
Sounds like the Witness Protection Plan to me
A star is nothing. Show me an ID card.
The plane he was flying was a ten passenger model. Not your garden variety private plane.
The guy was some kind of con man. And that bullshit about fighting Germans? That would have been my family. The Germans in Chicago assimilated or left the burbs before this asshole was born. Weird.

At this point, what difference does it make?
It’s 2 o’clock on a Friday and the regular crowd shuffles out...
There are at least two supposed videos of this plane exploding before it crashes.
This one, although the dashcam appears to have an incorrect date (1/27)
https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=94N2F_1549265624
But it seems to be corroborated by this one which has the correct date of 2/3

Is it true that a bleach bottle, a new package of rope and two MAGA hats were found in the wreckage?

Lol! Case solved! Great work detectives!
Keep up the good work!

Easy old timer, you can't beat the shit out of people anymore.
Back in the 70s you could’ve had a copy made If you knew a certain jeweler.

Old chimney-shaker with a 5 digit IR#?
It happens...
Locked up an old asshole the old man locked up
30+ years before.
The guys at Ident had a good laugh about it.
Old star as in C.H. Hanson pie plate style ? Or are we talking the crappy blackington stars circa mid 60’s . If it’s the pie plate style these are highly collectible and sought after and would explain a lot . “ Old Timer “ to someone born in 1997
It like an old episode of Barnaby Jones. WWBED?
as to the comment about commercial pilots getting backround checks, a commercial pilot does not fly for airlines, tha is an atp. airline transport pilot cert. private pilots cannot fly for compensation. flight training is based on flight hours. flying his bus is probably around 1000.00 per hour. so you get a lesser commercial pilots rating so you can fly, build time and since they get paid next to nothing try to cover your expenses. they fly small freight and air taxi etc. up until the internet they flew all the checks between branch banks at night. airline transport pilots fly the swingin beef and are held to a very high standard, commercial pilot is just a stepping stone to that, or a way to fly for free for the love of the game. enjoy your peanuts.

===========================================================
If it has a "Hanson" hallmark on the back, it's real. Blackington didn't make the old style 5 point stars until late 90's.

I have more questions than answers.
2/8@9pm -The previous five point star with the detailed city seal was made by NY Stamping and Engraving. Blankinton makes the current issue. C H Hanson made the hat shield as well as the large six point "pie plate" with copper numbers.

Very unlikely. Never heard of a Gypsy pilot or restaurant owner (money laundering? ). Most Gypsy scam artists are nickel and dime low IQ bullshitters.
Anyone know the star number this mystery man was carrying — and to whom the Star was assigned at that time, if anyone, when it was reported lost (stolen)?
Also. Was it 1978 when pie pan stars all were supposed to have been turned in for the new design (5-point stars, all metal, no colorful details!)? Or a different year?
